CALL WESSLINK072 271 7111ROOIHUISKRAAL · EXISTING BARRIERS · FIRST ELECTRIFICATION
Want to add an electric fence to an existing wall or palisade at your Rooihuiskraal property? Ask Wesslink to assess the proposed arrangement before equipment is purchased. The electric fence installation quotation should account for the existing barrier, entrances, equipment and final electric fence COC inspection.
An existing boundary barrier should be assessed for the proposed work. Its presence alone does not establish that it can be electrified safely or reused without correction.
BEFORE YOU BOOK
For Rooihuiskraal, give the full street address and any complex or business-park name. Explain whether the proposed fence will be mounted on a wall, added to another barrier or include freestanding sections. Safe photographs can describe the enquiry, but the condition and arrangement of the existing boundary need an assessment before the installation is agreed.
Tell Wesslink what information is available and identify any visible cracks or loose sections. Ask what support assessment or building work is required. The installer needs a suitable arrangement for the fence, rather than relying solely on the wall’s appearance from the street.
Show the change in construction and any gate or access point nearby. Ask the quotation to cover the complete route, including transitions between sections. A price based on only the longest straight section may omit work needed where the boundary changes direction or construction.
Describe the retained wires, supports and equipment separately from the proposed addition. Ask which parts can be reused after inspection. Do not treat a new energiser or added section as certification of all the older components without the required assessment.
Ask the proposed installation quotation to explain the fence route, equipment and any supporting building work. Clarify exclusions and obtain applicable owner or complex approvals before work starts. If another contractor must repair or complete a barrier first, agree the sequence so the fence is installed against the intended finished structure.
Where an existing installation needs attention, electric fence repairs may be discussed alongside the new work. Ask how retained and new sections will be checked together. At completion, request normal operating guidance and the records for the installed equipment, including what to do if a warning appears and whom to contact for service.
INSPECTION & TESTING
A working energiser is one part of the system. The inspection also considers the fence installation, its safety provisions and the test results.
An electric fence certificate follows inspection and testing by a registered person. Defects affecting compliance must be corrected before certification. Read Regulations 12–13 ↗
Identify the equipment and the fence sections it supplies, including alterations and gate crossings.
Inspect the earth system, wires, joints, brackets and insulators, together with the installation’s condition.
Check the safety provisions around the fence, including signs and places where people can approach it.
Explain defects found, agree the repair work and complete the checks needed before certification.
ELECTRIC FENCE COC COSTS
Provide the boundary description, approximate extent if known and the equipment already present. Compare quotations for the same route and completed work. Ask whether the price includes support corrections, entrances, equipment, inspection and certification, or whether some items are separate. A component-only price should not be treated as the cost of the full installation.

ELECTRIC FENCE COC · ROOIHUISKRAAL
Practical answers for owners, sellers and property managers.
Report the current symptom before the extension is agreed. Electric fence fault finding can establish what needs correction so the new work is not built around an unresolved problem.
Have the proposed installation assessed and designed appropriately. Do not improvise connections to an existing barrier; the fence arrangement and equipment need professional consideration.
Ask for certification to be stated in the agreed work. The completed installation must pass the required inspection and tests before a certificate can be issued.
Ask for the retained components and their connections to be assessed. The quotation should explain what is being reused, what needs correction and how the completed installation will be checked.
Retain the approved work description, equipment information and any electric fence certificate of compliance issued. Keep details of the retained sections as well as newly installed components.
A registered electric fence system installer may issue an electric fence compliance certificate after the required inspection and testing. An ordinary electrical COC is a separate document.
Ask for the inspection, any repairs and any return visit to be itemised in the quote. The work required depends on what is found; a price should not assume that the fence will pass before it has been inspected.
